Cool art. Curious why they went with a flower and not something more overt like a sack of money.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe because they saw the flowers as something to pick and possess rather than enjoy in Nature?

Pretty much. They're taking from the land.

Possible reference to Ukraine?

Nah, those don't look like sunflowers.

The figures all appear to be wearing suits, so I think that conveys what is needed.

When I looked at the first picture I thought rapture. Thought evoking and great work.

Cops are going for felony charges. Insane.

Oh it targets a certain group, but we aren't supposed to say it out loud.

Yeah seems a little extreme, but I could see the concern due to the imagery of hanging people.

The Media Release picture you posted in comments shows this was Eureka, CA - not Eureka Springs. Just FYI...

[–] NosferatuZodd@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

can you please mark as NSFW?

as the hanging people imagery can be quite triggering to some people especially those who lost loved ones to suicide

what is with the borderline of Eureka Springs? Gerrymandering much?

Could just be the fact there is fuckall around it and it just follows where people actually are

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago

Oh ok, I didn't know where it was so looked it up and it seemed like a very odd shape on the map 😅
